The Jesus And Mary Chain - Head On (Official Music Video)

[@johnbatcheller258]

My co-worker was 26 years old (half my age at the time) and I was playing a JAMC setlist while we were setting up and said he didn't know the band. When this song played he said he hasn't heard this cover of the Pixies before. "Nope. It's the other way around," said I. Next was "Just Like Honey" and he said he knew this song from the movie "Lost In Translation" but didn't know the artist. The next song was "Sometimes Always" and he knew it, too, but didn't know the artist. Again, with "Happy When It Rains". The poor JAMC doesn't get any recognition. WTF?? Maybe the band's name puts people off?

[@giovanniferrari3767]

ignorance always the worse sin! Still do not know why history of music is not a mandatory class in schools... I also discovered JAMC in my mid 20's by chance thanks to a great friend...

[@willbond]

Howard Paul Damned straight. I used to work security at shows and ended up declining opportunities to work backstage/dressing room or the after party. It was always the same. The room has a star in it, and 40 other people who are just thrilled to be basking in the presence of a famous person. It kinda made me cringe to see human beings acting like that.

[@johnbinder5129]

I saw them in Chicago not long ago. Great show but the "stage presence" of the band was as it always was. At the start of the concert Reid said "hello" to the audience. At the end he said "Goodbye." That was the total extent of the showmanship, not like so many bands who have a repartee all scripted for that night. BUT ABSOLUTELY GREAT MUSIC.

[@enorbet2]

Hey Mike Benoit I'm curious as to what you think you might have in common with him that would make for anything more than silly small talk? Now such small talk might be what he'd enjoy and engage in having a few beers at a bar/pub but backstage which to him is like you being at your job. How is that weird?

[@charlesvickers2047]

I think you have to mention that before streaming became a thing, radio was in charge. Okay, you got exposed to songs you couldn't care less about, yet, you got exposed to songs you grew to love. I couldn't care less about Tool back in 1992, yet, hearing 'Sober' so much on the radio changed my mind. I've been a fan ever since. Streaming is fine, but, for the most part, it negates the listener having to hear anything that they absolutely don't want to. It's worse than the concept of 'preaching to the converted', it's more like 'the converted preaching to themselves'. The best decade with the best decade was the one where the consumer didn't control every aspect of an artist's promotion through their own teeny-tiny cell phone. People act like the internet is all-inclusive, not really. People can shut out anything they want. That isn't always a good thing.

I saw J&MC a few times in 80s and 90s. Initially very undisciplined, then competent, then very tight. A band that was highly rated but sadly a bit forgotten. Better than all their reviews. Love them. Psychocandy is one of the best debut albums ever.

[@gabywhitehead6749]

gotta agree: psychocandy still my all time fav from J&MC, still play it, still can't beat it... bought the album almost immediately - bus straight into town to purchase it - after hearing just a couple of J&MC once on the (ISTR) now legendary John Peel radio show (for those of you to whom that means anything...)

[@asiaalaska7285]

Even after all these years they are the icons of cool. Had a huge crush on Jim when i was 15.

[@christianalander9487]

Jim Reid is definitely one of my favorite vocalists. So distinct, so perfect for the band's music - which makes sense, considering he and and his brother are the creative forces behind it. Amazing singer, amazing band. 🤘🎉

[@AngelaCooke-qh7rb]

Totally agree 🎸🐨

[@robhick4692]

Jim and William ARE the band. There was perhaps excessive focus in this video on the drummer, to prove a point, as they were slated for not having one, and utilising a drum machine ever since they sacked off Bobby Gillespie, who of course went off to found Primal Scream. That was about four years and two albums' worth, if memory serves.

Dublin, Ireland, October 1989. First leg of the 'Automatic' tour. When the Mary Chain blasted through this song I realised midway through that I had tears in my eyes. Sheer joy! 😊

[@larsgibbon3327]

Great song. Reminds me of when I was in my 20's, different times, different dreams...a good friend introduced me to this great band. Sadly he couldn't cope with the demons that was troubling him. RIP Chris.

[@DiscoBunny9]

Automatic has been the soundtrack of my pandemic.

[@mumblesslam]

Love that William is wearing a Love shirt. Love and The Jesus and Mary Chain: two of the best, most underrated bands of all time.

[@ニヒルファンタ]

フジロックありがとう…最高にかっこよかったです…また来日して下さい！！！！

[@Skyviking]

One of the best bands in the Universe!!!!! Love them!!!

[@StainingYourMind]

All time favorite song, right here.

[@lisamccormick7607]

[@ryanmcbride2695]

Same

[@LAG3]

JL Perry You know, I'm going to agree also. The opening three D rumbeats puts me right back in my Mazda 323 with Automatic in the tape deck. Great memories.

[@MakayaGemini3]

The GREAT days when 120 minutes w/ Dave Kendall was on MTV. Always played great music and vids like this. This song was even on the 120 minutes-Never mind the mainstream- CD Vol. 2. A great buy.....

[@moralcompass3252]

[@ellipsec01]

By far one of my favorite bands … right up there with the Smashing Pumpkins.

[@greenbaydahg]

This video is the junction of goth, grunge, surf, industrial and classic alt

[@gothicfarmyardmusic]

Yep. agree.

[@icarus313]

You pretty much nailed it, yeah!

[@X900BattleGrape]

I loved when we all knew were weren't quite the same, but were kinda the same and so it was all good.

[@Mccaigg]

Nothing to do with goth but ok.

[@CarlosSantaellaSequera]

This is GOTH!!!

[@Nightmike1989]

Many years later and this remains fresh when compared to what's out there, whether it be good or bad contemporary music, this is definitely one of their best tracks that made them hit big.

[@Randy55107]

As soon as I get my head 'round you I come around catching sparks off you I get an electric charge from you That second hand living, it just won't do And the way I feel tonight Oh, I could die and I wouldn't mind And there's something going on inside Makes you want to feel, makes you want to try Makes you want to blow the stars from the sky I can't stand up, I can't cool down I can't get my head off the ground As soon as I get my head 'round you I come around catching sparks off you And all I ever got from you Was all I ever took from you And the world could die in pain And I wouldn't feel no shame And there's nothing holding me to blame Makes you want to feel, makes you want to try Makes you want to blow the stars from the sky And I'm taking myself to the dirty part of town Where all my troubles can't be found Makes you want to feel, makes you want to try Makes you want to blow the stars from the sky And I can't stand up, I can't cool down I can't get my head up off the ground Makes you want to feel, makes you want to try Makes you want to blow the stars from the sky And I can't stand up, I can't cool down I can't get my head off the ground Makes you want to feel, makes you want to try Makes you want to feel, makes you want to try Makes you want to blow the stars from the sky Hey Ah yeah-yeah yeah Ah hey hey Ah yeah, yeah, yeah

[@practicallyunconscious8043]

Love this band. I saw them at the Ritz in NYC a long time ago. Psycho Candy had just came out. Great show.

[@kmbirdw74]

I did not realize this was not a Pixies song … this version is just as bad ass for sure !

[@clairedean4707]

Love this band and still as good as I remember

[@smcrowel]

July 2020. This song came on at a pool party, and all us 30-40 year olds sang it at the top of our lungs to try to blow the stars from the sky.

Brilliant! I love that!! 😃👍

[@TheRitacamara]

My first live concert, in 89.

[@bababooey7576]

There is hope in this world! Love this!

[@jimbohi3648]

I love this song never knew who did it, can't stop listening to it it's like it could have been recorded yesterday love love it

[@mclaughlinstonham]

Greatest band Scotland has and probably ever will produce.

[@adminstrativeuser8930]

Hmmm. Yeah probably. But there's tons of great Scottish musicians. Hard to say. Lots of talent

[@ericcollins4282]

Rollerskate skinny. Horse drawn wishes

[@captaindaring]

This was the definition of ultra cool alternative (or college radio) music in the 80's. This song could come out today and blow me away like it did back then. The band is one of a kind and created pure magic.
